My Project

Learning a new concept is much easier when you can see what you are learning about; however, molecules are too small to see. Using models is integral to teaching students about molecules. Molecular Modeling Kits allow students to study the shape molecules make, the bond molecules form and, the location of lone pairs of electrons.

Providing my students with Molecular Modeling Kits will allow my students to visualize molecules and deepen their understanding of this concept.

In addition to Molecular Modeling Kits, my classroom needs a balance and weigh boats to use in lab. Providing students the opportunity to use lab materials is essential to understanding chemistry.
